Performance for Resection for Primary Lung Cancer Compared to STS and National Outcomes*
* These NIS data are the most recent data available at this time. There are more resection for primary lung cancer patients in a single year of NIS data than in the GTSD, so a decision was made to use 3 years of STS GTSD data.

* Resection for Primary Lung Cancer Overall Composite Score represents two domain scores in a single number:
- Absence of Operative Mortality: Percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience operative mortality. Operative mortality is defined as death during the same hospitalization as surgery or after discharge but within 30 days of the procedure.
- Absence of Major Morbidity: Percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience any major complication. These are: 1) pneumonia; 2) acute respiratory distress syndrome; 3) bronchopleural fistula; 4) pulmonary embolus; 5) initial ventilator support > 48 hours; 6) reintubation/respiratory failure; 7) tracheostomy; 8) myocardial infarction; 9) unexpected return to the operating room.
** Esophagectomy For Esophageal Cancer Composite Score represents two domain scores in a single number:
- Absence of Operative Mortality: Percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience operative mortality. Operative mortality is defined as death during the same hospitalization as surgery or after discharge but within 30 days of the procedure.
- Absence of Major Morbidity: Percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience any major complication. These are: 1) unexpected return to the operating room; 2) anastomotic leak requiring medical treatment only; 3) reintubation/respiratory failure; 4) initial ventilator support >48 hours; 5) pneumonia; 6) new renal failure per RIFLE criteria; 7) recurrent laryngeal nerve paresis.
